The Estes Park Town Clerk’s Office reported Wednesday that the recall committee has not been in contact with town clerk Jackie Williamson since the 4-2 vote to approve the EPIC project by the town board at their meeting Tuesday night, Feb. 26.

There currently is no petition filed in the Clerk’s Office for the recall of the trustees who had previously voted against the EPIC project during the town’s Jan. 22 trustee meeting. Following the vote, recall efforts were begun against mayor pro-tem Eric Blackhurst and trustees John Phipps, Ron Norris and Wendy Koenig.

Williamson sent a letter to the petition committee on Feb. 5, outlining the changes needed to the petition in order to approve the petition to form. No further revisions have been submitted to date, she said.As of press time, Dr. Bert Bergland has not responded concerning any future plans of the committee.
